Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2003, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) provided a grant to the Government of the Republic of Congo for the Djoué Radio Station Equipment Upgrading and Rehabilitation Project. The monetary value of this grant commitment is unknown. These grant proceeds were drawn at least in part from a $2.8 million grant agreement that the Chinese Government and the Government of the Republic of Congo signed in January 2003. The project involved the supply, installation and commissioning of one shortwave radio launching station, two 50KW shortwave radio transmitters, 3 antenna feeders, antenna exchange switches, power distribution equipment, and air conditioning equipment. China Radio and Television International Economic and Technical Cooperation Corporation (CRTV) was the contractor responsible for implementation. This project was completed on February 28, 2003. It passed a final MOFCOM inspection on March 17, 2003. It was officially handed over to the Congolese authorities in August 2003.
